Frank lends a helping hand to rising young politico

That's U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Newton) keeping it gay in Philadelphia where he got to the bottom of things with rising political star Mike Evans.

Yesterday, the Web was abuzz with reports our openly gay congressman was openly fondling Evans, who made a brief run for Congress from his native Missouri last year. But Barney, who is, of course, in a longstanding relationship with S.O. Sergio Pombo, told us he was just giving his pal a friendly pat on the behind.

``There was nothing romantic about it,'' Frank told the Track.
